Notes: I know I should be working on A Moment Like This, but lately this idea has been in my head. I promise to try and update on A Moment Like This as soon as I can though.
Summary: This is a MerDer future fanfic involving their daughter Casey Grace Shepherd. I don't really know where this fanfic is going to go, but that Casey is 14 and is in 8th grade. Meredith and Derek have been married for 16 years and are still working at the hospital. Derek is chief.
Casey's classmates will be involved in this, and their different family backgrounds will be mentioned. It's about how all these different family backgrounds can be found in this small middle school classroom.
I should probably also mention that Izzie and Mark have been married for 15 years and have a daughter the same age as Casey. Her name is Sarah Katherine Sloan, she is in the same class as Casey and they are best friends.
People are always saying that you can't choose your family. No matter how much you might want to, you have to live with the one you get. Now, that doesn't mean you have to follow in the same footsteps as your family. That you have to make the same decisions and end up with the same life. That's not it at all, but yet, it's the part that most people don't know.
You can have an alcoholic dad, but you have the power to stay sober. You don't have to become your parents, because you're not them. You are your own person that can choose to live your life the way you want to.
No matter what family background you get, you will always have the opportunity to achieve your goals.
So this chapter is short because it's my opening, or premiere if you will. In the following chapters though, you will find out more information about Casey and Sarah and their family. Reviews are nice!
